[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 641955, member: 3305"] Hi sweet Esther, You are NOT a nag! No, I have just been really busy with getting settled into our new place. I was thinking about you though the last couple of days and your son. I hope he is still doing okay in Australia. Please update when you can. Hi dear Kathy... First, I am SO happy to hear that your daughter is stepping up! I knew she could do it. They are amazingly resourceful aren't they! They throw out all of these dire hopeless messages to us and then they wake up one day and start putting all the pieces back together again...THEMSELVES. LOL, we have this saying in Texas..."If you don't like the weather, wait a minute." Well, daughter in law called me Sunday night to ask if husband and I could watch the grandkids last night. So much for young difficult child's rant about being an orphan and that our gifts would be not accepted, etc. The kids came over last night and it was SUCH a fun time. husband got on the floor with them all and played while I took a video...smile. We have a "Crazy Christmas Hat contest" going between easy child and husband every year so there are lots of goofy hats around our house. The three grandkids had fun wearing the hats and playing with husband. husband even brushed the granddaughters hair for them (lol he's a closet hairstylist). Young difficult child picked up the kids and of course, acted like nothing happend just days before. Don't they have this uncanny way of brushing off all their ill's to others! You would think he never said an unkind word just days earlier to us. And, more good news...The reason we watched the grands last night is because daughter in law and Young difficult child were starting new jobs yesterday! What a roller coaster ride this life is...reminds me of what DDD always used to say. Gosh I still miss her SO much! So...the moral to this story is...believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see, right? But at least we're on the upswing again and I'm so glad that husband and I got to spend time with our grandchildren last night. Was a fun memorable time. Love to you all, Hang in there, LMS [/QUOTE]
